    A 70-year-old man with severe smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was recruited to a research study to examine the trafficking of 99m-technetium (99mTc)-labelled neutrophils. These studies were undertaken in patients with stable moderate to severe COPD and designed to establish novel methodology (using autologous 99mTc-labelled neutrophils and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)) to quantify neutrophil trafficking and accumulation within the lungs of patients with COPD. At the time of scanning he was clinically stable with a C-reactive …
